IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) failed to get an injunction. against Channel 4 News to have witheld from the public. The footage appears to reveal the same police constable who struck Ian Tomlinson shortly before he died, had also been involved in other violent scuffles with members of the public, some of whom may have been protesters. The IPCC already have this same footage plus CCTV and police surveillance footage. Any request by them that the footage Channel 4 News have shared with the public (22nd April, 2009) be witheld on the grounds it may predjudice the investigation, could be because as of that date no police officer present when Mr. Tomlinson was assaulted has been interviewed in connection with the incident.
